Kid Simius is the alias of José Antonio García Soler, a Spanish artist based in Berlin, known for his collaboration with Marteria, one of the overlords of German hip hop. In 2014, he released the excellent "Wet Sounds," an album that laid the foundation for his unmistakable style, which draws on rock, pop, bass music and electro, Ennio Morricone and Dj Shadow, and which he himself defines as surf'n'bass.

Kid Simius serves up a refreshing and festive playlist in which we find from Black Madonna and Ada's silky house, bright and ethereal synth-pop and electro pop to Italo disco, house with exotic touches, a couple of emo pop hymns by Rihanna and Kid Simius himself. A fantastic selection with which you will inevitably end up clapping your hands in the air. ...less
